LONDON, Jan. 14.-John Bright, in a
letter declining an invitation to attend a
meeting of the advocates of federation, on
the ground that he has no sympathy with
the objects and purpose thereof, asks the
projectors of the movement how the pro-
posed federation would deal with the fish
cries dispute between Canada and the
United States. If Canada were independent,
he asserts, she would yield to the
arguments of her powerful neigh
bors, and if there were no
dominion of Canada, the dispute would
soon have been settled by English conces-
sion of Americas reasonable claims. The
federation project, he says, is mainly the
offspring of the lingo spirit, which clamors
for vast and continually widening empire,
and seems almost ready to boast that the
empire can tight the world outside of its
own limits. Mr.. Bright says he would rec
ommend sensible men to let the question
rest

COMMISSIONER CoLMAN.
Illinois Live Stock Men Take Issue

MIA Question:.
SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,, Jan. 14.-The state
live stock commissioners made public to-day
their reply to Commissioner Colman, of
the agricultural dedartment. 1t is longer
than Colman's letter, and assails him Wig
Orously. The commissioners impute to
Colman malicious and vicious motives for
his attack. and claim that the discovery of
pleuro-pneumonia in Illinois was due to
them, and that the government bureau of
agriculture never discovered case in any
state. They say Colman is now pretend
ing before the public to hold views about
the matter that he and his subordinates
know perfectly we'll are entirely different
from those expressed at the time of the
trouble. AS to the condition of Shu-
feldts distillery sheds, the commissioners
say the facts are not as Cole
man has stated. They charge that
he has neglected to famiiarize
himself with the laws of Illinois on the
subject, and consequently his recommends
lions to the governor are puerile. The
commissioners undertake to show that Col
mans communication is an entire misrepre-
Sentation of their acts and that his COM
plants contain malicious miSquotatiOnS, for
the purpose of deceiving the public. They
charge that the commission has sought to
magnify the Shufeldt after. The board
claims to have done more in ninety days to
suppress pleurO-pneumonia with limited ap-
preparations, than the department of agri-
culture has done in more than two and one
half years, with ample appropriations, sci
entiic knowledge and appliances. and to
have established presidents that the de-
partment has been unable to establish. The

DUBLIN, Jan. 14.-The eviction of ten
ants on the Wenn estate at Glenbeigh,
county Kerry, continued to-day. In some
cases the bailitfS were stoutly resisted.
The occupants of one house barricaded the
doors and windows, and refused to allow
the officers to enter. The bailiffs made
several attempts to force their way into the
dwelling but the defenders received them
with boiling water and showers of stones.
and forced them to retreat, a number of
them with severe wounds. The siege lasted
some hours. Finally the police with loaded
weapons threatened to fire unless an i'm
mediate surrender was not made. The de-
tenders yielded and submitted to arrest,
twenty-five in number. All were taken
into custody. The wife of the tenant was
carried out of the house in fainting con-

Ark.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 14-Albert Odell, James
Lamb, john L. Echols and John Stephens
were hanged at Fort Smith, Ark, at noon
to-day, for murder committed in the Indian
Territory. The execution passed off quietly,
only about one hundred witnesses being
present. On Dec. 27, 1885, Odell and
Lamb killed man named Edward
Pollard in the Cherokee nation. The
murder was brutal. Pollard was
shot in the head and instantly killed while
he was walking away from his murderers
At the trial an extraordinary scene was
witnessed. Odell swore that Lamb did the
killing and Lamb denounced Odell as the
murderer. President Cleveland was urged
to commute the sentence OF each to life inl-
prlsonment, but refused to interfere after
carefully examining the evidence. John r.

implicated in numerous robberieS. John

punishment to-day was scarcely fit eXpia-

the Gable Road Strike in San Fran
cisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1.-THE resi-
dents of Post street, between Larkin and
Polk streets. were startled last evening by
the sound of tremendous explosion and
by the SCATTERING of glass about their ears
A dynamite cartridge had been placed on
the track of the Larkin street branch line
of the Suffer street cable read, and had eX-
plOded under Dummy No. 81. The dummy
was completely wrecked and the Win
dowS of the car and of houses in the
vicinity were demolished. Mr.. A. Hider-
brandt and his wife and brother were sit
ting on the dummy Oh the side where the
explosion took place. They were all thrown
into the street, and Mrs. Hilderbrandt it is
feared, is seriously injured. She was taken
into a neighboring house and medical as
sistance was summoned. Late in the even
ing she was conveyed to her home. 1t was
a miracle that there were no others injured,
as several persons were on the dummy.
Several persons in the vicinity rushed to
the scene of the disaster and soon a large
crowd congregated. Officer COnboy, who
was Oh the dummy, describing his sensa-
tons. said that the explosion had the effect
of momentarily
STUNNING HIM,
and it was fully half all hour before he re-
covered his hearing. Che excitement
caused by this explosion was intensified
when it became known that another explo-
sion had taken place on the Suffer cable
road, near Dupont street. about an hour
later. The explosive, which il is believed
to have been a giant powder cartridge, was
exploded by the dummy wheels running
over it. The dummy was disabled and had
to be taken to the car house for repairs
1t was replaced by a new one, and the road
continued to operate its cars as usual during
the remainder of the night. No one was
injured by the last explosion, as the charge
in the cartridge evidently was
small. The authorities are entirely
at loss as to the authors of
these outrages, and have not as yet OBJ
tanned the slightest clue to the perpetrators
of any of these frequent attempts at the de-
struction of life and property on the Geary
and Suffer street cable roads. Three men
who were on the Post street dummy were
bruised but not seriously hurt. Two men
have been arrested on suspicion of being
concerned in the outrage. Their names can
not be ascertained.
Later in the evening an unexploded dyna-
mite cartridge was found near Scott street,
on The Geary street road. The cartridge
had evidently been placed on the track, but
had rolled off. Chief Crowley and other
police officials are celebrating as to what
means to take to detect and bring the cul-
prits to justice, and to guard more carefully
against any such acts in the future.

His ARMY Bill, and is Promptly

BERLIN, Jan. 1.-the fate of the army
bill was settled to-day by the reichstag
adversely to the government, and action
was Immediately taken to dissolve the
chamber. On the reaSsembling of the
reichstag Herr Won Stauffenberg'S amend
ment limiting the duration of the bill to
three years was voted upon. The amend
ment was carried, the vote being 1S6 to
154. The Conservatives. Imperials and
National Liberals voted with the minority.
The socialists and most of the Alsatlan
members abstained from voting. Prince
Bismarck read an imperial message dissolv-
ing the relchStag. An imperial decree was
issued this afternoon fixing Feb. 81 for the
holding of general elections for members of
the new rechstag. Several meetings OF the
bundesrath have been held recently to de-
eide upon what action should be taken by
that body in the event of defeat of the army
bill in the reichstag. The North German
Gazette. in an article on the dissolution of
the Reichstag, says:
Before all. the German people demand that
every reichstag shaIl grant without fear or
hesitation what is necessary for the external
and internal security of the empire. Upon
this point common sense will surely teach
that voters will place more value upon the
opinion of the emperor and his advisors than
imperious parliamentary politicians.
